FogPod 2022 Episode 2: The Foghorn’s Guide to Midterms

Less than a week away from the 2022 midterms, email inboxes are flooding with political promises, supporters of propositions have taken over television commercials, and candidate signs are lining the streets. In this episode of the FogPod, Foghorn News Editor Megan Robertson sat down with USFVotes communications leads Emma Crameri and Kambria Williams to get a better understanding of what this all means. They discuss how to vote, what you will see on the ballot, and why voting matters now more than ever before. Produced by USFtv correspondent Hersh Singh.

FogPod 2022 Episode 1: Don Voyage

Is it time to change USF’s mascot? The Foghorn staff managed to do it in 1931 when they changed it from “Grey Fog” to Don Francisco. Ninety-one years later we’re wondering, does the Don still represent us? Should a university that prides itself on its mission of social justice have a colonialist figure representing it? In the first 2022 episode of the Fogpod, Zoe and Nora, editor in chief and managing editor, chat with President of the Culturally Focused Clubs Council Jada Commodore, and ASUSF Senate VP of Internal Affairs Ariana Anayat, to answer these questions and more. Produced by USFtv correspondent Hersh Singh.

FogPod Relaunch Episode 3: Life in the Village

Since the pandemic shut down the campus in March of last year, the Hilltop has been relatively empty. However, there are still traces of life to be found in the resident halls thanks to essential housing, a scaled-back version of on-campus living provided by SHaRE. In this episode, we hear from Toni Fernando, a Loyola Village resident, and Torry Bruce, SHaRE’s Senior Director of Housing, to get a glimpse into how COVID-19 has changed college living.
